The First Marquis of Daxuan

Qian Wudi didn't feel he had any face at all.

But he was completely helpless against Su Mu.

Since he was weaker than others, he could only swallow his anger.

Fortunately, as long as Ancestor Guanyu does not die, there will always be a day when he sees the light of day again.

The humiliation he suffers today will one day be washed away.

This day won't be long!

"Goodbye and don't come back!"

"Qian Wudi said coldly."

When Su Mu and Lu Yin left the Great Qian Dynasty, Lu Yin still felt somewhat incredulous.

They acquired one-third of the Great Qian Dynasty's territory so easily?
This was something he never dared to imagine when he was the sect leader of the Yanfu Sect.

With one-third of the Great Qian Dynasty's territory, their power will be no weaker than that of the Great Qian Dynasty.

It's not that Lu Yin didn't want to ask for more, but that they could only occupy this much territory at the moment.

Even if it gets bigger, they themselves will find it difficult to control.

Ultimately, neither the Yanfu Sect nor the Great Xuan Dynasty had a very deep foundation.

"Unexpectedly, Qian Wudi was actually willing to pay such a high price to save Qian Guanyu's life."

I always thought Qian Wudi was a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Lu Yin sighed.

“He doesn’t care about Qian Guanyu’s life. He’s just stalling for time.”

Su Mu said calmly, "I have found out that the Ziwei Heavenly Sect will be able to emerge soon."

At that time, the Tai Chu Realm experts from the Ziwei Heavenly Sect will be able to deal with us.

Qian Wudi is probably thinking that even if he gives us these territories now, they'll take them back in no time.

"Are those Heavenly Sects really about to emerge?"

Lu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Could something really big be about to happen?"

"It's hard to say the specifics, but what is certain is that the environment will change, so the restrictions on Tai Chu Realm experts will disappear, allowing them to leave the Heavenly Realm and travel the world."

Su Mu said, "This is also a good thing for us."

"Good thing?"

Lu Yin pondered for a moment before he understood what Su Mu meant.

In the past, powerful beings at the Primordial Realm were confined within the Heavenly Realm and could not roam freely throughout the world, which naturally led to a situation where there were no tigers in the mountains.

However, once Su Mu breaks through to the Primordial Realm, he will also be subject to the same restrictions.

This may also be the reason why Su Mu has not been able to break through to the Primordial Realm.

This constraint has now disappeared.

That means Su Mu can also break through to the Primordial Realm.

Once Su Mu breaks through to the Primordial Realm, they will no longer need to fear any so-called Heavenly Sect.

"No matter what, even if the Heavenly Sect emerges, the Heavenly Sects will first fight each other."

Su Mu said, "Right now, we just need to sit back and watch the tigers fight."

Before Su Mu finished speaking, powerful auras shot into the sky from afar.

They could even hear the roaring sounds carried by the wind.

The earth trembled as if a thousand horses were galloping together.

"Beast Taming Heavenly Sect..."

Lu Yin murmured, understanding Su Mu's meaning.

That guy Changshengtian actually convinced the Beast Taming Heaven Sect to attack the Great Qian Dynasty!
He knew about the agreement between Changshengtian and Su Mu; he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

Lu Yin actually held Changshengtian in some contempt; such a powerful figure, yet so cowardly.

He always felt that the Eternal Heaven was just spouting nonsense to save his own life.

What kind of existence is the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect? How could the Eternal Heaven possibly persuade them so easily?
Moreover, Su Mu himself said that it is not yet time for the Heavenly Sect to emerge, so why would the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect choose to start a war with the Great Qian Dynasty at this time?

"I have heard that the environment in this world is constantly changing. There are ice ages and warm periods. The world changes. If the era we lived in before was the ice age for martial artists, then now it is the warming of the weather."

The Heavenly Sect was the first to notice this phenomenon, so they have now begun vying for resources.

Lu Yin heard Su Mu's voice.

He immediately understood what Su Mu meant.

As Su Mu said, the world changes and the way of heaven changes, which will naturally cause some reactions from martial artists.

The Beast Taming Heavenly Sect is planning ahead, wanting to seize the initiative before other Heavenly Sects emerge.

This is the opportunity.

Seeing the overwhelming horde of ferocious beasts, Lu Yin couldn't help but feel a chill for the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Great Qian Dynasty is really having a run of bad luck lately.

They had just extorted a third of their territory, and now they had to face so many ferocious beasts.

Even with the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty, it must be having a headache right now.

That guy Qian Wudi is going to be a nuisance.

Lu Yin thought to himself with schadenfreude.

In the distance, the sound of war drums and the furious roar of Emperor Qian Wudi could be heard.

Su Mu and Lu Yin did not rush to leave; instead, they watched the battle for a while.

The first attack by the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect was clearly just a test.

The two armies fought fiercely for most of the day before retreating to set up camp and begin a standoff.

During this process, the top experts did not make a move.

Those ferocious beasts were the army under the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, and they actually fought to a standstill with the powerful armies of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"amazing."

Su Mu clicked his tongue in admiration, "As expected of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, just a few people can actually control so many ferocious beasts. These Heavenly Sects do indeed have some real skills."

Look at this Beast Taming Heavenly Sect. They may seem small in number, but they can control ferocious beasts, and their strength is in no way inferior to ours.”

"Not entirely. They may seem to be on par with the Great Qian Dynasty now, but their army is only a drop in the ocean. As long as the Great Qian Dynasty mobilizes its main force, it can quickly wipe out these ferocious beasts."

Unless they conquer a stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and wage a protracted war against the Great Qian Dynasty.

Lu Yin analyzed, "If the Great Qian Dynasty doesn't care about them, they can live for a while longer. But if the Great Qian Dynasty really goes all out to deal with them, their destruction will only take a few days."

Su Mu nodded.

The Beast Taming Heavenly Sect has not truly emerged; the strongest they have sent out is only at the half-step Primordial Realm.

This strength was indeed insufficient to deliver a devastating blow to the Great Qian Dynasty.

After all, the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect doesn't have a powerful figure like him to oversee things.

Su Mu was watching the battle here because he wanted to learn more about these Heavenly Sects.

His current thought is that Tianzong has some skills, but that's about it; they're not powerful enough to inspire fear.

Su Mu is now more interested in what the Great Qian Ancestor was talking about back then—the Heavenly Gate.

A sliver of light appears at the Heavenly Gate, revealing the true celestial realm.

Could it be that there really is a heavenly realm in this world?

As far as he knew, the Heavenly Realms where the major Heavenly Sects lived were just some special small worlds, still dependent on the Great Thousand Worlds for their existence, and could not be considered higher-level worlds.

But what the Great Qian Ancestor was talking about was clearly a world comparable to the Great Thousand World, yet even more advanced.

These celestial sects seem to be plotting to enter that true celestial realm.

"Ascension?"

Su Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile.

He was quite familiar with ascension.

When I came to the Great Thousand World from the Saha World, although it was not ascension, it was almost the same as ascension.

He didn't have much of an idea about ascension, but if these Heavenly Sects wanted to disrupt the situation he had worked so hard to build, they would have to ask Su Mu if he would agree.

"Senior Lu, we still have some time."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Go back now, accept the territory ceded by the Great Qian Dynasty as soon as possible, and then completely assimilate it."

I want to see a powerful Great Xuan army, at least stronger than the two armies before me.”

He pointed to the ferocious beast army of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect and the Great Qian Dynasty army confronting them.

Lu Yin, with a serious expression, cupped his hands in agreement.

Are you going on another adventure?

Lu Yin blurted it out subconsciously, wondering why he had used the word "again".

"adventure?"

Su Mu shook his head and said, "There is no one in this world who can pose a danger to me anymore."

I was just trying to find out some things; it wasn't anything risky.

Su Mu spoke calmly, as if stating a simple fact.

Before he finished speaking, his figure soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

…………

A moment later, Su Mu appeared in the camp of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.

Although it was called a large camp, it was no different from a beast's den.

The entire camp contained only a handful of people, apart from countless ancient ferocious beasts.

The Eternal Heaven brought Su Mu to an old acquaintance.

It was Nan Tianxiang, who had come to the door in a huff but then scurried away with his tail between his legs.

Upon seeing Su Mu again, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Nan Tianxiang's face.

However, he was, after all, a powerful expert at the half-step Primordial Realm, and had experienced quite a lot in his life, so he quickly calmed down.

"So it's Brother Su who has graced us with his presence."

Nan Tianxiang cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I was saying that my eyelids have been twitching all morning."

Brother Su, what brings you here?

"I would like to meet the person in charge of your Beast Taming Heavenly Sect," Su Mu said slowly. "Sect Master or Sect Leader, it's the one who makes the decisions."

"You want to see our sect leader?"

Nan Tianxiang paused for a moment, a troubled look on his face. "Brother Su, our sect leader is currently in seclusion, so it's probably not convenient right now."

“It’s inconvenient for him to leave the Heavenly Realm of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect. That’s alright, I can go in.”

Su Mu said calmly, "I have been to the Heavenly Realm of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect. I don't think there is anything special about the Heavenly Realm of your Beast Taming Heavenly Sect."

"Have you been to the Heavenly Realm of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect?"

Nan Tianxiang looked surprised.

As a disciple of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, he naturally knew what the Heavenly Realm was.

That was the place where the Primordial Realm experts lived in seclusion, and it was also the only place in the Great Thousand World that could support the existence of Primordial Realm experts.

If a Tai Chu Realm expert were to leave the Heavenly Realm, it would be like a drop of ink falling into clear water.

Water can be polluted, but ink will also dissolve in water and disappear completely.

This is determined by the laws of heaven and earth.

Therefore, once a martial artist breaks through to the Primordial Realm, they will stay in the Heavenly Realm to cultivate diligently and dare not come out casually.

Because the Celestial Realm is guarded by powerful beings at the Primordial Beginning Realm, ordinary martial artists have no chance to enter the Celestial Realm.

If one accidentally enters this place, the most likely outcome is death.

Nan Tianxiang had lived in seclusion in the Heavenly Realm of the Beast Taming Sect for over a thousand years, and Changsheng Tian was the only person who had ever broken into it and survived.

He never expected that Su Mu had also broken into the Heavenly Realm of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect.

To be honest, Su Mu is indeed very strong, but there are also experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm in the Heavenly Realm.

How could Su Mu possibly survive against a Tai Chu Realm expert?

“I saw that your sect leader had something to discuss with him, and I meant no harm.”

Su Mu said slowly, "You can go and ask him. If he is unwilling, I think the sect leader of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect might agree to see me."

Since you intend to take advantage of the changing celestial secrets to break through the Heavenly Gate, then I think he should see me.

"You even know about the Heavenly Gate?"

Nan Tianxiang was even more surprised.

He has now confirmed that Su Mu was not someone trained by any other Heavenly Sect.

It's not surprising that someone who wasn't born into a Heavenly Sect could cultivate to the half-step Primordial Realm on their own; after all, if one has enough talent, it's still possible to achieve this.

But the secret of the Heavenly Gate is a closely guarded secret of all the major Heavenly Sects, and it will never be known to outsiders.

Could it be that Su Mu really went to the Ziwei Heavenly Sect, not only returned alive, but also learned this secret?

"I cannot make this decision on my own; I need to consult the sect leader."

Nan Tianxiang was silent for a moment, then slowly said.

…………

Two weeks later.

The battle between the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect and the Great Qian Dynasty remains deadlocked.

Nan Tianxiang temporarily left the front line and took Su Mu to a certain place.

Similar to the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.

Beyond just a barrier invisible to the naked eye lies the Heavenly Realm of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.

This so-called celestial realm is no more than a hundred miles in circumference.

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh at the fact that a powerful expert at the Primordial Beginning Realm was trapped within a hundred miles.

I wonder if these Primordial Realm beings have ever regretted their actions.

Without breaking through to the Primordial Realm, one can roam freely in the world.

After breaking through, they would be trapped within a hundred miles.

Of course, the lifespan of those in the Primordial Realm is much longer than that of ordinary martial artists, which is perhaps one of the greatest advantages of the Primordial Realm.

"Brother Su, please, the sect leader is waiting for you up ahead."

Nan Tianxiang led Su Mu to the mountaintop, where a palace built of giant stone appeared before them.

This palace appears much more rugged than the imperial palace of the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, it exudes a wild and untamed aura.

Su Mu showed no fear whatsoever as he calmly stepped through the palace gates.

Seeing Su Mu's actions, Nan Tianxiang secretly admired him.

If it were him, in a completely unfamiliar place, he would absolutely not dare to do what Su Mu did.

After all, Su Mu knew that there were people here who could threaten his life.

"So you are Su Mu?"

Inside the palace, a figure sat high above, speaking calmly, "I've heard that the world outside is now divided in half between the Great Qian Dynasty and you?"

"That's not entirely wrong."

Su Mu calmly asked, "May I ask your name?"

"I've lived too long; I've long forgotten worldly names."

The other party said calmly, "I am the sect leader of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect. You may call me the Beast Sect Master."

"Since you occupy half of the Great Thousand World, you are qualified to speak with our sect."

The Beast Sect continued, "Before our Heavenly Sect was born, you were able to reign supreme in the Great Thousand Worlds."

Now that major sects are about to emerge, you probably already sense it. Without a powerful backer, you'll only face certain death.

You've come to see me, surely for this reason.

"My Beast Taming Heavenly Sect can indeed be your backer. You made the right choice."

"With the support of my Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, even if you defeat the Great Qian Dynasty and unify the Great Thousand Worlds, it will be as easy as turning your hand."

Su Mu chuckled to himself upon hearing this.

"Beast Master, you're really confident."

Su Mu shook his head and smiled.

Now he understood how Changshengtian had persuaded the Beast Taming Heaven Sect.

The Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, or rather all Heavenly Sects, are all so arrogant and overconfident.

Su Mu has actually met quite a few people like this.

They are high and mighty, and have long forgotten what is real.

They felt that everything in this world was under their control.

Unfortunately, they forgot that they were not invincible.

"Beast Master, shall we test our skills?"

Without wasting words, Su Mu raised his hand and made an inviting gesture.

Nan Tianxiang, who was standing helplessly to the side, changed his expression.

Didn't I say I meant no harm?
Why is it a challenge right from the start?

Su Mu, Su Mu, you've really put me in a terrible situation.

He secretly groaned inwardly.

The Beast Master looked at Su Mu with curiosity and a playful expression.

"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

He said calmly, "That's true. With your level of cultivation at such a young age, how could you not be arrogant?"
You probably won't be convinced until I defeat you.

Since that's the case, then this sect will show you what true power is.

This will also make you believe that my Beast Taming Heavenly Sect is more than capable of serving as the backdrop for your Great Xuan Dynasty.

He slowly stood up, exuding a powerful aura.

The Beast Sect member was extremely tall, almost two meters tall.

His imposing physique was extremely intimidating.

As he stood up, he took a step forward.

His figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Mu at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

boom!
Su Mu raised his hand and threw a punch.

The two fists collided, and their energy exploded.

In an instant, Su Mu and the Beast Sect flew out of the main hall at the same time.

Nan Tianxiang followed closely behind, and at the same time, the other members of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect also walked out of their respective palaces and looked up at the sky.

Above the sky, Su Mu and the Beast Sect stood facing each other.

The Beast Master laughed heartily, and behind him appeared a series of powerful ancient ferocious beasts.

"Su Mu, don't worry, this sect will not kill you."

This method will make you admit defeat wholeheartedly.

The Beast Master laughed loudly and waved his hand, sending an ancient ferocious beast rushing out.

He controls a great many ancient ferocious beasts, and if they attack simultaneously, he believes Su Mu will be defeated instantly.

But at this moment he wanted to show off his skills, so he did not send out all the ferocious beasts at once, but only one.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, looking completely nonchalant.

"If you can convince me wholeheartedly, then what if my Great Xuan Dynasty becomes a vassal of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect?"

Facing the ancient ferocious beast rushing towards him, Su Mu remained calm and spoke indifferently.

He slowly raised his hand and unleashed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist.

With a single punch, six vortexes appeared in front, instantly enveloping the ancient ferocious beast.

With a deafening roar, a blinding burst of light exploded.

A look of surprise appeared on the Beast Sect's face.

"Interesting. No wonder it can occupy half of the country."

The Beast Master muttered to himself, "Since that's the case, then bring a few more." (End of Chapter)
